Artist: Joseph Mallord William Turner
Artwork: Whalers
Description: In 1840 Turner exhibited two pictures of whaling, both of which were painted with great freedom and power. The ships are shown in the midst of a furious storm, with huge waves breaking over them. The men on board are struggling to save themselves, and the whole scene is one of great drama and excitement.
